Chapter 39 Showing the Emperor's Grace to Jin Yiwei
However, when Fan Yuqing arrived at the You'anmen area of the outer city of the capital, he saw that there were already a full of Jinyiwei sentry in front of him, and a notice prohibiting leaving the city was hung.
Fan Yuqing had to stop the horse.
Fan Yuqing was quite annoyed in his heart and said to himself: "I was still one step slower, and the court obviously expected someone to inform Wang Huazhen."
But Fan Yuqing knew that he had to bring out the news that Liu Yiyin was imprisoned as soon as possible, otherwise more people and things would be involved.
Fan Yuqing looked at the servants around him and whispered: "Run over and lead these Jinyiwei Cavalry!"
"yes!"
These servants are no different from dead men. They have been slaves from the Fan family from their parents and even earlier, so they are very loyal to Fan Yuqing.
Therefore, the servants immediately took out the arrows they carried with them and rushed towards You'anmen.
Although the Arrows are forbidden objects in the Ming Dynasty, for those who are not simple behind the power, it is not surprising that they can get Arrows and even firearms.
Moreover, these servants were all trained since childhood and had excellent martial arts skills and strong combat capabilities. They were not afraid of the Jinyiwei Tiqi.
Wu Mengming, a thousand-household Jinyiwei guarding at You'anmen, immediately shouted: "Stop them! They are going to force out of the city!"
Puchi!
However, before the Jinyiwei could react, a Fan family servant shot an arrow and penetrated the throat of a Jinyiwei Tiqi.
Then, several Jinyiwei fell to the ground by crossbow arrows.
But the Jinyiwei also began to fight back, shooting two Fan family servants to the ground.
After all, Wu Mengming, a thousand-household family, was quite agile. When he saw the other party rushing over directly, he had already expected that the other party would force himself out of the city.
For a moment, the entire You'anmen area started to fight.
Seeing this, the scholars and people nearby had to flee and scatter.
But the Fan family's servants were obviously more powerful, knocking down a Jinyiwei to the ground or slashing it to the ground one after another.
After all, the Jinyiwei in the capital has gradually neglected training because the world has been peaceful for a long time.
Wu Mengming had to fight with a Fan family servant by himself.
Fortunately, Wu Mengming was quite capable and immediately killed the Fan family.
However, at this time, more and more Jinyiwei gathered together, so even though the Fan family members were brave and good at fighting, they gradually began to become outnumbered.
Seeing this, Fan Yuqing had already taken the initiative to retreat.
When the other Fan family members saw that they were surrounded by Jinyiwei, they directly wiped the knife to their necks, and chose to commit suicide.
Anyway, they all have roster files in the Fan family, so they don’t have to worry about not getting pensions after their death.
Fan Yuqing took the initiative to get off the horse, got into a lane, and changed into civilian clothes.
However, Fan Yuqing did not return to his place of residence. He could guess that there must be people from Dongchang in his place of residence.
So, Fan Yuqing chose a new inn.
...
"Report to the Emperor, Wu Mengming, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, there was indeed an incident in the You'anmen area that forced someone to break out of the city in the afternoon, but unfortunately, no one was caught, and they all chose to commit suicide by wiping their necks."
Zhu Youxiao soon learned from Wei Zhongxian that someone had forced himself to break into You'anmen.
"The city gate cannot be sealed for a long time, otherwise it will affect the normal operation of the officials and the people. Therefore, you need to find out the person named Fan Yuqing overnight. Judging from me, it is probably this person who is forcibly breaking into You'anmen."
Zhu Youchao said to Wei Zhongxian.
"I have asked them to investigate! I will definitely arrest Fan Yuqing as soon as possible."
Wei Zhongxian replied.
Then, Zhu Youxiao asked again: "How many casualties were caused by the Jinyiwei?"
Wei Zhongxian didn't expect the emperor to ask so carefully.
Fortunately, Wei Zhongxian wanted to be prepared and thought that although the emperor was very cruel, he also cared about the casualties of the people below. It can be seen that he took his servants in his heart.
So, Wei Zhongxian replied: "Nine wounds, six died, and three of them were probably able to survive in the nine wounds, and the other six were all very deep."
Zhu Youxiao did not expect Wei Zhongxian to answer, so he looked at Wei Zhongxian even more highly and said, "Six people who were seriously injured and died will be given a first-level official title of Jinyiwei, and will be given a pension of one of the family's labor service. They will be given the title of a national scholar. They will choose a good place in the imperial village to bury them in a centralized manner, and will be ordered by the Cabinet to choose a chief official to preside over the funeral."
"Everyone who is injured is given a bonus of fifty taels!"
Zhu Youxiao then said another sentence.
Although for Zhu Youxiao, an ordinary Jinyiwei, the status of an ordinary Jinyiwei is much lower than that of him, and he may even be recognized by him in his lifetime.
After all, Zhu Youzhai has more than 100,000-jin Yiwei.
But Zhu Youxiao knew that he could not ignore the life and death of every Jinyiwei and the honor before and after him.
Because only by letting every Jinyiwei feel the emperor's grace can the ruling status of his Ming emperor be stable.
Otherwise, the people below will lose motivation to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty and the emperor.
In this way, even if the emperor, as a ruler, cannot make the people below absolutely loyal to him.
Why was Zhu Yuanzhang able to kill people who threatened his rule and it was fine?
It was because his guard system allowed the ordinary Jinyiwei to be guaranteed and honored by other Ming officers, so no matter how severe Zhu Yuanzhang punished and punished him, it would not be a problem.
Zhu Youxiao knew very well that if he wanted to use strict government to eliminate the evil policies of the world in the future, he had to consolidate the loyalty of the grassroots Jinyiwei's personal army to him.
The favor once was only a few tens of thousands of taels of silver for Zhu Youxiao, but for a Jinyiwei, it was a guarantee for the emperor to die.
"I obey the order!"
Wei Zhongxian replied immediately.
Then, Zhu Youxiao asked Wei Zhongxian again: "How many times were killed by the Jinyiwei in addition to committing suicide?"
Wei Zhongxian hurriedly replied: "Five people."
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao nodded: "The combat ability of the Jinyiwei must be strengthened, but the failure of the Jinyiwei to retreat means that the Qianhu guarding the city has some skills. He will report his name to Xu Guangqi and let him pay attention to this person."
As he said that, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but think: "I hope that after Guo Hu, Qin Liangyu and others can make my personal army invincible in the world in the future!"
...
"Mr. Miao, my servants have all paid off. It's hard for me to leave Beijing alone. I have to ask for your help!"
Fan Yuqing came to the residence of Donglin official Miao Changqi and started talking about Miao Changqi.
Miao Changqi glanced at Fan Yuqing with a squinted look: "You are too reckless. You are so anxious to leave the city. Didn't you think in advance that they would definitely lock down the city?"
"Wansheng also wanted to leave the city in front of them, but who knew that since the East Factory changed people, these Jinyiwei seemed to have changed people. They were much more active. The city was blocked so quickly, but the Jinyiwei official guarding You'anmen was quite alert! Therefore, he failed!"
Chapter completed!
